12th Pilgrimage to Rome


PEREGRINATIO AD PETRI SEDEM MMXXIII


About us


Each year, from 2012 onward, the representatives of the People “Summorum Pontificum” bring together in Rome faithful, priests and religious from all over the world. Their aim is that of being part of the new evangelization at the rhythm of the extraordinary form of the roman rite – i.e. the Latin and Gregorian Mass, celebrated according to the last edition of the Tridentine Missal published by Pope John XXIII.

During the three-day pilgrimage, its participants have the opportunity of witnessing the eternal youth of the traditional liturgy. Friday, the pilgrims gather in the Basilica of Santa Maria “ad Martyres” (Pantheon), where they assist at solemn Vespers. Saturday, after a time of Eucharistic adoration and a procession throughout the streets of the centre of Rome, a solemn Pontifical Mass is celebrated in St. Peter’s Basilica. The pilgrimage ends Sunday, feast of Christ the King, with a Mass celebrated in the church of the Santissima Trinità dei Pellegrini by the prelate who accompanied the faithful during those days of devotion and prayer.


IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR PRIESTS PARTICIPATING IN THE PILGRIMAGE

 

 

Due to the almost complete elimination of private Masses in St. Peter's and the difficulties that may arise in other parishes, priests who wish to celebrate in the following two churches during their stay in Rome are asked to book their "turn" in advance:

 

- At the Trinità dei Pellegrini, Piazza della Trinità dei Pellegrini, by contacting the sacristan: sagrestia@fssp.it or +393482637981

 

 

- At Santi Celso e Giuliano, Via del Banco di Santo Spirito 5, by contacting Canon Landais: chn.landais@icrsp.org

XIIth PILGRIMAGE

AD PETRI SEDEM

FROM 27 TO 29 OCTOBER 2023


Dear friends,

Here are finally some news regarding our next pilgrimage.

The general framework is unchanged, but there is a significant and sensitive change concerning Saturday.


Friday October 27, 2023, 5:30 p.m.

Vespers in the Basilica of Sainte-Marie-des-Martyrs (Panthéon), presided over by Bishop Athanasius Schneider


Saturday, October 28, 2023

9:30 a.m.: Adoration in the Basilica of San Celso e Giuliano

10:30 a.m.: Departure of the procession to Saint Peter's Basilica

11 a.m.: since Cardinal Gambetti – certainly due to a superior order – is not authorizing the celebration of a Mass this year (i.e., the directive is only for this year, and even so, subject to a possible last minute change), our celebration there will consist of:

1. The procession to the tomb of the Prince of the Apostles and the chanting of the Credo

2. The chanting of the office of Sext of the Holy Apostles Simon and Jude at the altar of the Chair

3. The veneration of the relics of the Holy Apostles Simon and Jude (their bodies are in the Vatican Basilica); the blessing; and a final chant.


Sunday October 29, 2023 at 11 a.m.

Solemn Mass of Christ the King in the Church of the Santissima Trinità dei Pellegrini

It would be good if there were even more of us this year, coming from all over the world, to show a strong presence while raising our prayers. May the holy angels assist our fervent testimony.

Do not hesitate to forward this message and to tell your friends to consult the Pilgrimage website at https://site.summorum-pontificum.org/

and also to register, so that all our updated information may reach as many faithful Catholics as possible, namely all the indications which will enable them to prepare for their visit to Rome, from 27 to 29 October 2023, accompanied by the greatest number possible of their friends.

In union of prayer and friendship,

Christian Marquant
